At $600 /month just how many takers do you think they will have? And if H gets cheap, then what? Will Honda yank them away from leasers the way GM did with the EV1? Lawyers, politicans, bankers, and car salesmen, They’re all crooks and liars.

Given the huge success of hybrids like the Prius, in a way I’m glad to see Honda taking a different route. Time will tell if cars like the Clarity will pan out as a viable alternative to other hybrids.

Honda’s position is that inexpensive, non-range-specific, and profitable hybrids make more sense than expensive, range-specific, and loss-leading cars like the Volt.

Honda was the only major automaker that I am aware of that didn’t lobby the US government against the latest CAFE increases (GM and Toyota did). Therefore I don’t question Honda’s continued commitment to the environment. Nor do I question their devotion to engineering or their vision of the future.

If they don’t see the value then there is a chance that the value simply isn’t there. Time will tell.
